Vincent Foster, a Deputy White House counsel from Hope, Arkansas, died in 1993 just outside of Washington, D.C. His death was ruled a suicide.

Suspicions arose even more as a result. The case of Vince Foster's death remains a hot topic with conspiracy theorists.

Whether or not there’s any bit of veracity in these notions, though, is up for reader debate. Do you believe scandalous secrets are being kept by powerful people in the Natural State? It’s definitely something to think about.
